Thank you Susan, who suggested that my camera problem was probably a memory card issue.   I took the memory card out of my camera and re-inserted it.  That did the trick. It just needed to stretch or get a breath of fresh air or something. Also, my goodness, what a lot of comments I […]

I looked it up, and actually, it isn't.  However, when it is, people tend to have problems with mechanical devices.  Which I am.  So I wondered.  My camera is telling me that I have a memory disc error.  I have no clue what that means, and hope my goose isn't cooked.  I love my camera.  […]

This is a good example of why it isn't a good idea to leave things until the last minute.  My plan was to whip Cindy Lou Who together on Saturday when I had the whole day off.  My nine patches were done, all I had to do was make the snowball stars.  I laid the […]

I finished my Birdseye quilt top, that's what's going on!  I haven't trimmed it yet, and I want to examine all the little block intersections to make sure they line up right, but all in all, FINI! This quilt is way big.  I was going to add the perfect border fabric from the Sturbridge Harvest […]

Have you heard about the Red and White Snowball Challenge?  Some of us are going to make a quilt from the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts, called "Leftovers Again?".  It is the most perfect stash reduction quilt you ever saw.  You can make it in one color (plus lights) or go wild […]

What do you think?  Like the looks of this quilt?  Me too.  Would you like one of your own?  Yup, me too.  Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts took this picture while she was on a recent road trip through Utah.  Of course she stopped at all the quilt shops, and this was one of many […]

I was rummaging around in the stash closet and found this little bundle of beautiful blue fabrics my son Ahren had bought for me when he was at JJStitches in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin last January.  I had completely forgotten about them, and was thrilled when they turned up.  Vicksburg by Judie Rothermel.  Gosh, that sounded […]

'O frabjous day!  Calloo!  Callay!!'He chortled in his joy. Things are pretty happy at my house right now.  My husband received a great job offer which he has accepted.  Things are looking up indeed. No need for me to work two part time jobs, so I will be drastically cutting back my work hours and […]

Things are going splendidly with my Winter White Schnibbles blocks.  I am so happy that I decided to scratch my first poorly executed effort and start anew with fabrics I had on hand.  Look at my blocks above!  So sweet. I have all my flying geese units completed and have been enjoying myself enormously, trimming […]

On Saturday, I woke, still smarting from my sewing fiasco of the previous day.  I lay in bed, fuming at my sloppy work, my lack of planning and my wasteful use of both time and fabric.  Then, I remembered something.  The lovely Cheryl, my friend from Gran's Quilting Place, had recently sent me some gorgeous […]
